Medium to deep purple with a developed rim. Underneath the top layer of green Cabernet flavors (green peppercorn and capsicum) one finds black cherry, plum, tomato leaf and a hint of clove. Vibrant, fresh and the tannins are resolving and taking on a softly chewy texture. Quite enjoyable.

This is definitely developing into a very enjoyable wine. It's still young but the tannins are very complementary to the dark fruit. It's not overblown at all and only needs an hour or so to blossom.

Not fair to assess a numerical score. Still really primary even after a 2 hour decant. It does show a lot of promise for the future. Good structure and red fruit popping thru the oak and tannin.

This was decanted but I am not sure for how long. A solid and typical Bordeaux with slight bell pepper, graphite, and earthy notes. Ann and I both enjoyed this more than the Briceland Cabernet we drank along side it. 87-88
